In this episode of The Pivot Effect, hosts Teri Zipper and Susan Richards welcome guest Rajiv Chandrasekaran from Where You Work Matters, an independent data project that analyzed real outcomes for 12 million workers across 1,750 employers over five years. Unlike traditional best-places-to-work surveys, this project measures whether companies actually help people advance, earn more, and stay in their roles, broken down by specific occupation and employer.  The conversation covers how the list rates employers across three archetypes, early career, growth, and stability, so workers at any stage can identify which companies fit their specific goals. It also moves into practical steps, including how to use the free comparison tool at whereyouworkmatters.org to evaluate competing job offers with data your hiring manager can't argue with. Key points covered include: ↪️ The list rates occupations at the company level using three archetypes: early career, growth, and stability. That means you can identify the right employer for your specific career stage rather than defaulting to overall company reputation. ↪️ Well-regarded companies don't necessarily perform well across every occupation. At Apple, for example, project management specialists see strong pay and retention but limited advancement pathways for early-career professionals. ↪️ Sales managers at platinum-rated growth companies are 89% more likely to receive an internal promotion within five years and 71% more likely to land a better job when they leave, compared to those at unrated companies. ↪️The comparison tool at whereyouworkmatters.org lets job seekers evaluate up to three employers side by side for a specific occupation, giving them concrete data to bring directly into hiring conversations.
